SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- RoboUP, a pioneer in smart lawn care solutions, is set to launch its latest innovation, the Raccoon 2 SE, on Kickstarter this November. Designed for eco-friendly, and affordable lawn care on small lawns, this next-generation mower will be available across Europe and the U.S., with an exclusive Super Early Bird offer starting at just $200. Simply place a $20 deposit to secure special rewards and lock in the lowest price from October 11th to November 10th.
From Vision to Reality: The Birth of Raccoon 2 SE
Founded in 2016, RoboUP has been dedicated in creating smarter, greener, and more connected living spaces. After years of helping medium and large lawn owners simplify their routines, the team realized small garden owners face their own challenges. Busy lifestyles leave little time for lawn care, and most robot mowers on the market are oversized and overpriced for small yards, making them stick to mowing by hand. For elderly homeowners, manual mowing can also be tiring and unsafe, turning a simple task into a real burden. These insights inspired the Raccoon 2 SE, a simple, reliable, and affordable robot mower designed to save family time and make garden care stress-free.
Built on the success of previous models, the Raccoon 2 SE takes convenience to the next level. No boundary wires or RTK installation, instant mowing without an App, and auto mapping with self-charging for a truly hands-free experience. For small lawns with clear physical boundary, this smart mower makes carefree lawn care a reality. On Kickstarter, you can reserve yours with just a $20 deposit and secure the Super Early Bird price starting from $200, enjoying premium performance and reliability without breaking the bank.
Trusted by 80+ Families Before Kickstarter Campaign
Since July 2025, RoboUP has launched a Beta Tester Program, sending over 80 robot mowers to real families across Europe and USA. Their valuable feedback helped refine performance in real-world gardens, ensuring reliability and ease of use. With proven testing and trusted voices behind it, you can back with confidence, so don't be afraid, place your deposit today!

RoboUP Announces Raccoon 2 SE: The Most Easy-to-Use Robot Mower for Small Lawns, to launch on Kickstarter
ALULA, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today marks the official opening of Desert X AlUla 2026, the landmark fourth edition of the international, open-air biennial exhibition. Arts AlUla, in collaboration with Desert X, welcomes visitors to experience a stellar line-up of Saudi and international multi-generational artists whose site-responsive earthworks, sculptures, and installations will engage in a powerful dialogue with the awe-inspiring landscapes and layered heritage of AlUla.
As a premier destination rich in ancient history and breathtaking nature, AlUla, located in Northwest Saudi Arabia, solidifies its position on the global stage as a dynamic, emerging land art destination with Desert X AlUla, the region's first public art biennale, and a key highlight of the AlUla Arts Festival.
The 2026 edition of Desert X AlUla brings together 11 acclaimed artists whose diverse works reflect a wide spectrum of ideas, materials, and traditions. From monumental kinetic sculpture to sound-based explorations above and below ground, each commission is deeply rooted in relationships to AlUla's distinctive environment, further cementing Desert X AlUla's reputation as a globally significant platform for site-responsive land art.
Desert X AlUla runs until February 28, 2026, as a cornerstone of the annual AlUla Arts Festival. Curated by Wejdan Reda, Zoé Whitley, with artistic direction by Neville Wakefield, and Raneem Farsi, its fourth edition explores 'Space Without Measure.' Inspired by Kahlil Gibran, the theme fosters contemplation of imagination within AlUla's natural settings. The exhibition, set in the desert canyons of AlUla, serves as a pre-opening programme for Wadi AlFann, offering a pivotal glimpse into AlUla's plans to create a permanent land art 'Valley of the Arts.'
Hamad Alhomiedan, Director of Arts & Creative Industries at the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU), said: "At Desert X AlUla 2026, audiences will engage with art that deeply converses with AlUla's unique landscapes and rich heritage. These compelling commissions highlight AlUla's dynamic transformation into a major global destination, where ancient and contemporary expressions converge. This exhibition is part of our broader revitalisation of AlUla as a culturally rich destination to live, work and visit and integral to positioning AlUla in the global dialogue of contemporary art and as a precursor to monumental projects like Wadi AlFann."

About AlUla and Arts AlUla
Located 1,100 km from Riyadh, in North-West Saudi Arabia, AlUla is a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage. The vast area, covering 22,561km², includes a lush oasis valley, towering sandstone mountains and ancient cultural heritage sites dating back thousands of years to when the Lihyan and Nabataean kingdoms reigned.
The most well-known and recognised site in AlUla is Hegra, the principal southern city of the Nabataean Kingdom and Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. AlUla is also home to ancient Dadan, the capital of the Dadan and Lihyan Kingdoms and considered to be one of the most developed 1st millennium BCE cities of the Arabian Peninsula, and Jabal Ikmah, an open air library of hundreds of inscriptions and writings in many different languages. AlUla Old Town Village, a labyrinth of more than 900 mudbrick homes was developed from at least the 12th century and has been revitalised as the vibrant hub for visitors and residents.
The creation of Arts AlUla within The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) is a commitment to crafting the next chapters in a millennia of artistic creation – celebrating cultural inheritance and shaping a future inspired by artists built be artists. The work of Arts AlUla seeks to preserve this legacy: fuse the old with the new; the local with the international, keeping the arts central to the spirit of AlUla as a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage.
Wadi AlFann, meaning 'Valley of the Arts,' will be a global cultural destination for land art, unveiling from 2028 onwards, where era-defining works by artists from around the world will be permanently sited in the monumental landscape of AlUla, the extraordinary desert region of north-west Saudi Arabia.
